Surely a better gauge on who can step up is how they perform alongside the actual firsts or at least in the shape we'd actually play? Surely it would make more sense to put Panzo in a back 4, stick a kid in at left back if needed and Evans in his actual position as a winger rather than a wing back on the wrong side? You can say chances are limited, but you can't just chuck a rag tag side together with little semblance to where these players play or would play if they were in the firsts and then say "x can't step up"
Shall we provide them with their favourite biscuits at half time as well, ask them if they're happy with the colour scheme in the changing room?
In my opinion, good players show through whatever the circumstances, even if they're asked to play a different role. And i would say that was what Bulut was looking for. The result was secondary. We can't promote players on the hope that they'd be better with better players around them, when they've not shown anything in games like last night. That would be ridiculous
